The summer like day called out nm
usually large congregations at the
various churches. These congregations
were treated to good sermons. morning
and night. Yesterday was exceptionally
good in earnest, logical and practical
discourse from the Yankton puipits.
At the Nj. E. church Rev. +. a. Bur-
dick, the new minister, preached to full
houses, morning and evening. His in

been most creditable to him as an earnest
minister and good preacher. His SER

to share with man this work of redemp-

arm clasping the cross and the other
tree to extend aid to the sufferers on the
wreck. at night he discoursed upon the
words: "Many kinds OF voices In the
world and none of them is without sig
niticance." Voices to mans spiritual
nature were spoken of, voices of God,
nature and the bible. The voices from
the world-the voice of greed, sinful

speaking now daily to us-the voice of
the minister, the voice OF the departed.
Voices of all true friends call to a better
life. The holy spirit and our better self
speak to day. The voice from calvary
and the cruciied one utter both invi.
tation and warning. Which of these
voices will you heed?
